BETTER QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING

COMPARATIVE BUYING / EDITION 01

A or B?
Make the tradeoff visible.

Kaizen Review is being built as a comparative shopping guide: define the job, weigh what matters, separate evidence from impressions, and decide with less noise.

LOCAL TOOL / NOTHING IS SUBMITTED

Three criteria.
One honest result.

Move each bar toward the option that leads. Then choose how much that criterion matters for your situation.

THE REVIEW STANDARD

Comparison is a chain of evidence.

  1. 01

    Define the job

    “Best” has no meaning until the use, constraints, and failure costs are clear.

  2. 02

    Name the criteria

    Separate essential performance from preferences that can be traded away.

  3. 03

    Trace the evidence

    Identify whether a claim comes from a specification, test, owner report, or impression.

  4. 04

    Show the exception

    A useful conclusion says who should choose the other option—and why.

What will a finished comparison answer?

Which option fits which buyer?

A conclusion should describe the use case and tradeoff, not declare one universal winner.

How should affiliate links be handled?

If affiliate links are introduced later, the material relationship will be disclosed clearly near the recommendation. This edition contains no affiliate links.

Does the calculator recommend a real product?

No. It demonstrates a transparent weighting method with generic options. Real comparisons require sourced evidence and product-specific research.
